Great event yesterday Daniel! Glad to be a part of it! Next question: HOW DO I CONVINCE YOU TO MAKE ME A FEATURED READER AT YOUR NEXT EVENT? My many followers believe I'm ready for prime time... after 34 years of writing poetry! BIG traffic on my lit blog. HOW DO I CONVINCE YOU TO BE A GUEST BLOGGER ON MY SITE? I publish works by other writers every 10 days and I'd really like to include one of your poems... Find me at: http://lastcre8iveiconoclast.wordpress.com/
Never quit!
Thanks for all you do. I admire your high level of skill and commitment. Looking forward to Santa Cruz Festival with much excitement and anticipation.

Art House Gallery & Cultural Center has always had a warm and fuzzy place in our hearts for anyone who even THINKS they are a Beatnick; especially Poets. Bring um' on!
Haunted by beatnic ghosts? Try sparring? I stopped paying dues and you took my ring. I threw my anger at you and you laughed. I threw you out the window with the window and I walked like a proud Californian. I bought a ring. Beauty, I caught beauty.
quite a black and fed red
blessings to my dead brothers
wild wilderness of constant art
swirls in my old room at 444 columbus
amid midnight streets of the beach
jazz workshop to Mike's poolhall for
three a.m. coffee and dexadrine rambles
there are so few of you gregory
endless repititions well short of your angelic riffs, think of you sweet man

I read during Sparring With Beatnik Ghosts at the Beat Museum in North Beach on Oct. 14. I'd like to order two copies of the anthology Vol. 1, No. 5 where I have a poem 'Autobiography of the Soul.' Please tell me how to go about this and if there is a charge. Thanks. My mailing address is: Julie Rogers c/o Latif Harris / 117 Scott St., SF 94611.
Also, I would like to submit poems for the next publication of Beatnik Ghosts anthology, one from myself called 'Live at Spec's' and two from the SF poet Latif Harris written for Jack Spicer and Ginsberg - all seem appropriate for your magazine. Please inform how to go about this. Thank you. Julie Rogers

We tap mystic voices,
drum the haunts from the tomb.
